After a long time preparing the move, today was time for the move.
DNS TTL was reduced to one minute to switch over quickly, and soon as the DNS entry pointed to the new server, requests where hitting the new target.
While we did everything possible to make the move as smooth as possible, we are still encouraging you to report problems, if any occur.https://www.abelcam.com/forum/view_topic?topic_id=52302019-01-21 17:37:00AbelCam 4.4.3 Release 2017-03-18 releasedhttps://www.abelcam.com/forum/view_topic?topic_id=5225New features in AbelCam 4.4.3
Many of the technologies used for the AbelCam web pages installed with the software have changed lot
Javascript has become more powerful
Java is almost dead - only 20% of the visitors on abelcam.com have it installed
Silverlight looked promising years ago, now it's not even supported by Microsofts Edge browser
AbelCam 4.4.3 is the answer to these changes.
If you're installing for the first time, you will have the new set of web pages as default.
If you're upgrading, you will need to change your data folder to point to the new pages.

Information / Download
What do you think - should this tool be included in the AbelCam installer?https://www.abelcam.com/forum/view_topic?topic_id=50912012-06-22 19:37:00AbelCam.com on new hardwarehttps://www.abelcam.com/forum/view_topic?topic_id=5088Moved the server on new hardware.
The migration process did not cause any problems, all data has been moved.
The redirection from the old to the new server for those computers still using
the old DNS information was interrupted for an hour this morning because I had
other (more) urgent work to do.
The new server has roughly twice the CPU power and twice the memory.
Probably this website is a bit faster now.
If you have any problems with the new server let me know.https://www.abelcam.com/forum/view_topic?topic_id=50882012-06-13 12:50:00Plugin for Dropbox availablehttps://www.abelcam.com/forum/view_topic?topic_id=5086A new plugin allows to upload images to Dropbox in regular intervals.
